The Allahabad High Court on Thursday deferred its hearing on a PIL seeking a ban on the release of erotic Bollywood thriller "Jism 2" which is slated to hit theatres on August 3.

A Division Bench comprising Chief Justice S R Alam and Justice Vikram Nath deferred hearing on the PIL, filed by one Rakesh Nyayik of Varanasi, till August 8.

In the PIL, it has been alleged that the movie in which Indo-Canadian porn star Sunny Leone plays the main lead contains "nudity and objectionable scenes". PTI
